Michael, this is a Jewish Company and they're not used to lose money... actually, they're swimming in it now, as it's rumored they're netting around $100,000 a day with the Computer deal at $300.00... Their Financials are due at the end of January or beginning of February for the Quarter ended 31st December 1999... Those of OSCR are also eagerly awaited... JMHO, F. Goelo + + +

Shopss.com Announces Gold Card Membership Tops 12,000 at Year End PLAINVIEW, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 13, 2000--Shopss.com Inc. (OTCBB:ACII), the pioneering virtual shopping mall, today announced that membership in the company's Gold Card program from inception on Nov. 18, 1999, through Dec. 31, 1999, has reached more than 12,000 paid members. Shopss.com is currently signing up new Gold Card members at a rate exceeding 350 per day. Jerry Conca, president of Shopss.com, commented: "The positive response to our Gold Card membership program has resulted in a significant increase in revenue attributable to both membership fees and the sale of products offered on the Shopss.com virtual mall. All of this translates to increased shareholder value." The Gold Card membership with a total cost of $299 per year, paid in advance, provides an array of benefits, including a free 500Mhz Pentium III computer. As part of the contract, Gold Card members must agree to receive one e-mail per day from Shopss.com. The Gold Card membership also includes the Shopss.com Phonetastic service, which provides unlimited calling throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico (Israeli consumers have use of this service in the United States only), participation in online auctions as a buyer and seller, 3 to 5 percent discount of all winning bids and special discounts on imported products. Regular Shopss.com membership requires a two-year contract and a commitment to spend a minimum of $30 per month on the Shopss.com Web site or at the Shopss.com stores in Tel Aviv and Herzlia Petuach, Israel. Members who do not meet the $30 minimum requirement will be charged a $19.95 monthly service charge. Beyond the array of products available on www.shopss.com, members can also shop at other selected Internet stores, including Amazon.com, jcrew.com and 1-800-FLOWERS.COM.
